Introduction
The radeonhd driver, or xf86-video-radeonhd is an X.org video driver for R500 and newer ATI graphics devices. It is being developed by Novell for AMD, with the free documentation provided by AMD. At the time of this writing, the radeonhd driver offers accelerated 2D/3D for R5x0 (X1k cards & 690G IGP) and basic mode-setting support for R6x0/R7x0 (Radeon HD series).
Building radeonhd
Prerequisite Packages
Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
Using the following commands will get all the libraries one should need:
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev configure-debian git-core gawk x11proto*
Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy)
sudo apt-get install x11proto* libxau-dev xutils-dev m4 autoconf autotools-dev automake patch dpkg-dev html2text gettext intltool-debian po-debconf debhelper diffstat libdigest-sha1-perl libdigest-hmac-perl libfile-remove-perl libio-stringy-perl libltdl3-dev libmime-types-perl libobject-realize-later-perl libuser-identity-perl libmail-box-perl libsys-hostname-long-perl libmail-sendmail-perl zlib1g-dev libpci-dev libpixman-1-dev libtool quilt libpciaccess-dev xserver-xorg-dev libstdc++6-4.2-dev g++ build-essential libdrm-dev configure-debian git-core gawk
Obtaining the Latest Source
You can put the source directory in another folder if you'd like. By convention, we use /usr/src
cd /usr/src sudo git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd cd xf86-video-radeonhd
Adding the m4 Macros
The following command will open two files in gedit:
gksudo gedit configure.ac Makefile.am
In the configure.ac file, paste this into the file: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) after the line that reads: AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(.) In the Makefile.am file, paste this: ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 after the line that reads: SUBDIRS = src man utils/conntest
Compiling
sudo ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr sudo make sudo make install
Configuring xorg.conf for radeonhd
Open your xorg.conf for editing and find the Device section:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now change/add this line to the Device section, then save and quit.
